The Great Mines of the World

The world-famed Potosi mines, Of
Bolivia, yielded from 1870 to 1898, q
period of pa years, s1.C0 600. This
sum is large, but to oh, il, the
labor OF five generations of miners was
required. In twenty seven wears the
Com took mines have yielded S41O. GOO
600, and q new system of working is
now being innaugurated by which the
lode will be made to yield up as more
in the next thirty years. But three
mines in all the world have produced
more bullion than the Comstock. These
are the Potosi, with $1,000 600; Sierra
Madre, $500, 900 900: and the Rio Grande.
$3.50, OOO, 900. Next to the Comstock
comes the Veta Madre, with a yield of
1886, 945, 000,. The next in order. the
ParmiJian, with 100000 shows q
quick drop, and the yield of other
mines OF note then runs from $50. 600 900
down to SIC 100000. The annual pro-
duction of the whole world is now $500

THE LADY AGENT.
A Reporter JOts Down What She
Has to Say.

THERE'S lady at the door. Show bel
into the parlor. No, stop. Shut thu
door in her face. Never let an agent
inside the house. Agents are so cheeky
They are so persistent. They can tall
an arm off in less than fifteen minutes.
Is there no protection for us? We car
manage to keep the wolf from our door
but we are powerless to resist the boob
agent. Give her blaff. Invite her to
close the door from the outside.
And now hear what the lady agent
has to say Tor herself.
Do you think l came from the Can
nibal Islands Do you think am going
about like roaring hon, seeking who !
may deyour2 If this is the cause OF all
your terror, let your minds be dis
abused, for l am simply trying to make
living, same as other people. We are
very useful class of citizens, but the
world does not appreciate US.
Our business is about as certain as q
Louisiana lottery. Sometimes We make
great winnings. and sometimes we lose.
We are apt to make any amount from
10 cents to 500 per week; but We gen
orally keep nearer the 10 cent line.
Sometimes we meet very pleasant
people. Sometimes we meet very IN
pleasant people. Sometimes the game
Is bluff. Sometimes counter bluff.

he ONLY STARED.

But he only stared at me for the spac,
OF half minute, as though wondering
if they had missed me yet at the Iunatit
asylum, and then expressed himself
emphstically. He said:
You surely are not fool enough to d
such thing as that7"
That's our way of doing business, ;
[ confidentia answered, then ADDED
''Oh, yes, here is your name on the
door plate. Thank you. The machine
will be sent in day or two, and I am
sure your wife will be pleased with it.
And so l left him battling with conflict
ing emotions and searching through bis
vocabulary in vain for something ap-
propriate to say. | expect he is looking
for that machine yet. That is what is
known among the fraternity as a clear
case of counter bluff.
1t always has better effect to ask to
see my lady personally, and to do this
we must by some means learn her name.
The door plates are generally pretty
reliable, but sometimes they play us the
meanest kind of tricks.
One day called at house and asked
to see Mrs. So and so, taking the name
from the door plate. The servant
looked at me in blank astonlshment and
said: why, she is dead"
Of course to be equal to the emer-
geDcy, 1 asked, with all the surprise
and sorrow in my voice that l could
command on such short notice. "Why,
is 1t possible? When did she die2"
About three years ago." was the
answer.
Since then l have not placed much
confidence in door plates.
Yes, Indeed, We are very useful class
OF citizens, and not bad behaved. if
people would only treat US well.
There is large number of women
engaged in this WORK, and most of US
work on commission, and can put in
whatever hours suit US best.-Cincin-

THE SEWING MACHINE.

Let me explain. Once when 1 va.
csnVassing for sewing machines l ranl
the bell of house on Mount Auburn
and instead of the door being opened by
| a servant, as was usually the case, il
was q gentleman who answered my
summons and whom l quickly decided
to be the lord and master.
I My business was soliciting orders fol-
machines, to be sent OH trial. l carried
nothing with me but little hand
satchel, within which was concealed the
give away note book and pencil, and the
servants who opened the door for me
generally took me to be one of q church
fair committee, guess; but l never
would tell them my business. would
always insist on seeing the lady her
self. However, upon the day in ques-
ton, when the gentleman met me at the
door, was informed that the wife had
gone down into the city, and would not
be home until quite late. So there was
no hope of seeing her, and just then
some evil spirit whispered in my ear,
Tell the husband, perhaps he will sur
prise his wife by having a machine sent
in" So [ launched forth in my most
eloquent strain, but when l came to the
place where he should have Clipped in
and said, Certainly, send it right
along" detected vicious smile play
ing around the corners of his mouth,
and | knew that indicated bluff. and
braced myself to receive it.
He said: We'll, of course, you can
send the machine, but l will have to
charge you storage"
Certainly" said I. I'VE would not
expect anything else. We always pay
storage. How much do you charge"
He began to look puzzled, but
answered: "a dollar a week"
Thank you" said l warmly. Con
sidering the excellence of our machine,
your charges are quite reasonable"
Then taking out my book and pencil,
noted the street and number and
asked: What is your name, please;
when will you have it sent?"

WHEREAS, Because the LABOR ENQUIRER,

TRADE TYRANNY.
June s, 1887

Mr.. Stephen Vinot, known for many ysars
IS friend of Labor, is at present victim Of
= capitalist conspiracy. He had tenant, .
plumber, whom he engaged to do some
plumbing work for him, and whom he paid for
the work. This plumber turned the job over
to his boss, but did not turn the money over.
The boss sued Mr.. Vinot who in court proved
that he made the contract with the journeyman
and paid him; whereupon the court rendered
judgment in favor Of Vinot.
The boss then reported the matter to the
boss plumbers association; they decided that
this giving of work to the workman himself
must be stopped; it was setting bad exam
pie; twas teaching practical cooperation; il
would never do. They decided that unless
Mr.. vinot paid the bill over again to the boss
and thereafter stopped going direct to the
t0iler that he should have no more plumbing
work done for him.
So now any workman who does job for
Vinot is put on the blacklist; any dealer who
sells him material it boycotted. Mr.. vinot
owns several houses and has considerable
work that needs to be done but he can get
no one to touch it.
The journeymen plumbers of Denver ought
to form union and start cooperative shop;
if they did that they could cut prices fifty per
cent. and yet receive fifty per cent. more pay
than they now get.
If workingmen should do what these boss
plumbers have done they would be in Jail for
conspiracy.

A SOCIALIST CONVENTION.

The Socialistic Labor Party will call a Ma
tional Convention September II at Buffalo,
NY. There should be full representation
and all Internationals should assist to make it
so. The federation matter will probably be
considered. Following is the official call:
The Sections have, by large majority,
voted to hold general convention this year.
We now request them to vote upon time and
place of holding such conventions.
After careful consideration of circumstances
as well as of wishes expressed to us, we pro-
pose that the opening day be September II,
and that decision be made between the cities
of Buffalo, Cleveland and Rochester, For
geographic reasons we recommend Buffalo.
The reports of result Of the general vote
should be in our hands by July I, and every
Section should Immediately busy themselves
